An Atlanta-based developer is moving to plant roughly 252 new apartments on a 14-acre site in far north Fort Worth, adding yet another multifamily project to the busy U.S. 287 corridor. Plans call for four buildings with an estimated price tag of about $42 million, with construction expected to kick off this spring and wrap up by August 2027. The property sits on the south side of U.S. 287 near the traffic-circle exit ramps, tucked up against several single-family subdivisions.
According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, state filings identify DD East Harmon LLC, an entity linked to Davis Development, as the owner on record, and describe a four-building project totaling 252 units. The Star-Telegram reports that Davis Development already runs several multifamily communities across North Texas and the Houston area, and it highlights the filing’s estimated $42 million cost and the August 2027 completion target.
What’s Planned
Pipeline data from MMG Real Estate Advisors includes a 252-unit project listed as “Cowtown Crossing” at Desperado Road and East Harmon Road, a description that lines up with the scope and location detailed in the Star-Telegram report. MMG places the entry in the Dallas-Fort Worth prospective pipeline, which underscores how developers continue to zero in on the Bonds Ranch and Harmon Road submarket for new apartment construction.
A Corridor That’s Still Building
The Dallas-Fort Worth area remains one of the country’s busiest apartment construction markets. Reporting by CultureMap Fort Worth, citing RentCafe data, ranks the Metroplex No. 2 nationally for new apartments in 2025. On the ground, big projects keep rolling forward: HPI has broken ground on an 829-unit multifamily development near Bonds Ranch Road, a sign of why builders and investors are pushing farther into far north Fort Worth and the surrounding trade area.
Timeline And Neighborhood Outlook
The state filing cited by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram outlines a construction start “this spring” and a planned finish in August 2027, although the project still needs city permits and final site plan approval before dirt can officially turn. Residents in north Fort Worth have previously voiced concerns about how quickly apartments are stacking up in the area, a tension chronicled by The Dallas Morning News during earlier calls for a temporary pause on some rezoning requests.
From here, public records and construction-pipeline trackers will show how the proposal advances through the review process. MMG’s pipeline already flags the prospective project and is expected to update as permits and entitlements are filed. More precise timelines and detailed site plans should surface once the developer submits formal applications to city and state agencies.
